Review

If you've enjoyed reading Stephen King's "Carrie" then you'll enjoy reading "I will Kill You in My Dream my Kristina Gallo. Similarly, this short story is about a young high school pupil named Helena who is unpopular with her peers and teachers. Little do they know that Helena possesses secret supernatural powers whereby anyone who has wronged her immediately dies following her precognitive dreams. War is hell and so is high school. I WILL KILL YOU IN MY DREAM, set in Croatia as Gallo's previous works have been, is part CARRIE and part THE CRAFT in that it focuses primarily on young women who experience all the drama of high school relationships, and one young woman in particular who seems to be capable of predicting future tragedies in her sleep.

About the Author

My first name is Kristina, and I am using Gallo as my alias in writing.
I live in Croatia. English is my second language. I was always rebellious, and I am working on my progress. After gaining experience with blogging, I became an indie author. I am multi-genre from self-help to horror. My stories are based on real events.

All names have been changed because I always protect my sources.

Enjoy reading, and I would appreciate a review.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Kristina is a multi-genre indie author inspired by reality, darkness, and sarcasm. Her native language is Croatian. She was born a rebel and follows her principles. In the year 2013, she started Rebellious rules by Kristina Gallo. She described life situations in a form of satirical stories. Readers motivated her to write a book based on blog articles. She made a collection of self-help books.

In 2020 she started a new genre, suspenseful thrillers. She wrote novels inspired by actual events and mixed with imagination. New stories are grim, with sarcastic descriptions and witty characters. The point is not in a happy ending, but more in a powerful message.

In Croatia, she traditionally published the book “Pink Glasses”, about the relationship between people of two unique cultures. Writing is her passion, new ideas are always around.

🕯BOOK REVIEW / “I Will Kill You In My Dream”/ Kristina Gallo🕯

 ___
Genre: YA Horror Story   
Pages: 46
Language: English
Publisher: Self-published
Release date: 2019
____
🕯Reading this book was like being glued to a burning candle; when it almost burns out, it appears you can’t unglue the fingers from it.
____
🕯The Plot: Helena is a pupil, bookworm, and shy girl with a rebellious soul.  Her teenage life is not as ordinary as it may seem at first sight. She has a gift that makes her life incredibly complicated. Understanding that she can’t get rid of her ‘magic powers,’ Helena tries to find out how she can control it or at least to manage to live along with the gift she didn’t ask for.
____
🕯The Writing Style: This story differs considerably from other books by Kristina Gallo. Emotional, vivid, provocative, and touching writing style, dynamic, and the tense plot is enriched with a lot of historical facts. The writer so masterfully depicts all the inner tortures of the main characters that I thought my phone would melt in my hands because emotions run high on every single page.
____
🕯The Characters: The main characters aren’t numerous. On the other hand, there are a lot of sub-characters. But if you do a ‘deep dive’ into this fantastic story, you’ll understand the lay of the land at once; because the writer succeeded in integrating all of them at the right time in the right place.
____
🕯Triggers: Death, bullying, children’s abuse.
____
🕯My fave quote: I have none in this story. BUT I do believe that this book will get a fantastic movie adaptation someday!
____
🕯Would I read other books by this author: Definitely yes!
____
🕯My humble rating is: 5.5/5

4.0 out of 5 stars Karma, even if you don't want it
Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2019

On the surface, this book is a young adult short story about Croatian teenagers with the taste of supernatural and horror. As her school mates drop around her, Helena tumbles to the realization that it is her dreams that are causing the injuries. Karma at the extreme.

However, there is a deeper substance. This story details the life in Croatia at the beginning of the war. It deals with dark subjects beyond the surface horror premise – school sex, alcohol, bullying, bribery, and violence. Thus, it is a story of coping and relationships.

Without revealing the ending, I’ll say it is a quick read. Perhaps too quick. I would have liked to see more development of the characters and settings.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Will Kill You In My Dream - Kristina Gallo
Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2020

"I Will Kill You In My Dream" is a short horror tale written by author Kristina Gallo, that touches on the subject of teenage life intertwining with the supernatural. The main character, Helena, has been having nightmares that seem to be crossing the boundary between reality and the subconscious, witnessing sometimes violent images of her peers dying in cryptic and horrible ways. She tries to ignore these and continue with her life in Croatia, discovering along the way that her dreams are slowly taking on a life of their own....

As a fellow author, I enjoyed reading a horror tale from the perspective of someone who grew up in Croatia. Kristina does an excellent job of conveying what life is like for a teenage girl in public school, and I definitely enjoyed the dialogue between Helena and her friends. I laughed several times at some of the exchanges between her characters, as she peppers some comedic dialogue throughout. As far as scares, it would depend on the reader as I found it to be more of a revenge tale than creepy, but some of the dream imagery is definitely the latter.

Overall, I loved the story, and in addition, believe Kristina Gallo to be a very talented and diverse author. She has multiple published works that touch many genres, to which I personally find to be remarkable for someone like me, who has a primary genre. I have already read a few of her stories, and I see that continuing, as I enjoy her work....

5.0 out of 5 stars Dreams Can Come True!

When Helena’s paranormal dreams come true—look out! Although she had no control over her dreams which materialize as a result of high school trauma, the content serves as an omen for bad tidings. I can’t say I feel the least bit sorry for her social studies teacher, Mr. Frane Horvat.

The author has a knack for telling a fully developed story in the span of 57 pages. She spares no expense at providing physical descriptions and backgrounds of several characters crucial to the story: Sandra, Danijel, Nina, Anita, and David.

As if that isn’t enough, Ms. Gallo fills the reader in on the cultural cadences and social upheavals between the Serbs and Croatians. This has a direct bearing on the plot.

The situations and dialogue exchange in the high school arena are realistic.

Bad things may happen to bad and good people. But, when a decent enough human being at odds with so-called normal teens gets a glimpse of optimism, there’s hope. That’s an important message in itself.

I highly recommend this engaging short read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another gripping story by Gallo!

This was an intense story with a scary concept - a girl who's been hurt starts hurting others through her dreams. She doesn't intentionally makes these dreams happen, it's moreso her dreams that tell her what's going to happen. This made it more interesting than wish fulfillment or pure vengeance.

I kept turning the pages to see what would happen to the next person through her dreams. Everyone except Sandra is predicted. We don't see what happens to her until the very end.

Gallo always writes gripping tales!

Kristina Gallo makes the transition from non-fiction to fiction in this book so successfully it stunned me. I have followed her progress for some time now being impressed by her view on life and in many ways the pitfalls of life. I have learnt a great deal from reading her work and been particularly captivated by the fact that she writes in English which is not her first language. I have mentioned many times in reviews that I find her style and expression enchanting, that if you can get beyond the expectation of perfection you would take much from reading it.
Today I received her fiction book and was astonished by it, not only in how much her written English has progressed beyond anything I would have imagined, but by the way she merges fact with fiction, giving a view of Croatia, where she lives, that is at once informative and seamless. Make no mistake this is a story which falls into the supernatural horror genre yet has the same reality that she expresses in all of her other works, giving it that edge (for me) over so much that is written in this genre.
For many weeks I have had a ‘reading’ block; I have never had a writer’s block but imagine it to be similar. I haven’t been able to read any of the many books I have waiting so I had no hopes for this one. I dipped in to take a peek at the author’s fiction offering; it was much like being grabbed by something supernatural and pulled into another world. I read it in one sitting, letting it take me on a trip through Croatia and some of the historical political implications she so skilfully weaves into this story, whilst leaving me with the overwhelming thought that ‘this might really have happened’.
Kristina Gallo is not an author to be overlooked. (Pat McDonald British Crime Author)

4.0 out of 5 stars A well-written and compelling story
Reviewed in Canada on August 6, 2020

I Will Kill You in My Dream puts an interesting spin on the prescient dream scenario. Helena is the unpopular girl in school, always trying to fit, but either screwing it up herself or being sabotaged by others. Then come the dreams. She begins to see bad things happening to those who've wronged her, and though she tries to warn them, their fates are sealed. Or are they?

This a fairly quick read at 56 pages, so there's no room for the usual chapters-long descent into teen angst. Kristina Gallo's writing style is direct and to the point, all story and no fluff, making it the perfect fit for a story set in the former Yugoslav area. In fact, that background could be almost be considered a character in itself. It is alien enough to a western reader that we are never entirely sure of our footing, and though the characters all exhibit that Eastern European penchant for unambiguity, we can never be truly certain of their motives. But one thing is abundantly clear. Wherever you go in this big, weird world of ours, we all like a good scary story, and we all know that dreams can quickly become nightmares.

Everyone who has been through the struggle of fitting in at school can relate to this short story about teens in Croatia during a time of transition for the country. Teachers from the previous political regime don’t help, parents cannot relate and the popular kids don’t help. If you’re not one of them it’s difficult. Even if you attempt to get in on the social scene it involves going to a seedy club where ‘whoever survives could make a story’ which works as a metaphor for the wider environment this story is set.

‘Helena’ like a lot of teens has potential but is otherwise engaged, for this she is berated by the school while also made to feel invisible. She’s not a bad student but perhaps she attracts bad things and then the dreams begin…

‘I will Kill You in My Dream is an engaging and satisfying short story with a supernatural edge about the struggle of being a teen.
